SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the hypothesis that the universe may be a wave emanating from a greater source, challenging the traditional Big Bang theory. Participants express skepticism about the plausibility of this idea within the framework of established physics. The conversation highlights the need for clarity in questions posed about cosmology, as vague inquiries can lead to unproductive discussions. The thread was ultimately closed due to its ambiguous nature and potential violation of forum rules.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Big Bang theory
  • Familiarity with standard cosmology principles
  • Basic knowledge of wave physics
  • Awareness of forum discussion etiquette and rules
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the concept of cosmic expansion and its implications
  • Study the principles of wave mechanics in physics
  • Explore the Physics Forums for discussions on cosmology
  • Investigate the reasons behind the absence of a center in the universe
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, cosmologists, and anyone interested in theoretical discussions about the universe's origins and structure.

Is it physically possible that the entire universe and everything in it, in a form of a Wave, emitted from a source? That the Big Bang wasn't the point of all creation, but only our universe getting pulsated from a source. And what we see as expansion really could be the Wave (or pulse?) being emitted outwards in a ripple from the source?

My main point is; could something like this be somewhat plausible according to any laws of physics? or is it too in possible?

Welcome to PF. It's great that you're thinking about such things, however it's not really possible to answer your question, since it is somewhat vague. And then, besides, if we delve into this issue any more, we are in danger of wandering out of the allowed topics, and breaking PF rules. Thus, I'm going to close this thread.

However, you might like to take a look at, e.g., the https://www.physicsforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=206 , and specifically https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=506991 which explains why there is no centre of the universe, or 'point of creation'.

If, having read up a bit more on standard cosmology, you have further questions, feel free to open a new thread, but be mindful of the forum rules.
